Actually, this isn't a rant about the show so much as it is about my purchasing options.

Here's the thing: I love Doctor Who. Especially these most recent series with Christopher Eccleston, then David Tenant as the Doctor. I would really like to own them on DVD. Furthermore, I would like to use those DVDs to introduce my wife to the Doctor.

The problem is, my wife is not a native English speaker. She really likes to have Japanese subtitles when she sits down to watch English language programming.

Normally, this should not be a problem. After all, we have Friends and Dharma and Greg with Japanese subtitles, surely they will be releasing Doctor Who on Japanese subtitled discs, right?
